Sanni, a former captain of the team led the club to 6th position on the log.

supersport.com learnt that the race of the job has been characterised by intense intrigue and power play.

Sanni barely escaped the exit door last term and has since re-applied for the job as directed by his former employers.

The former captain believes he will return to the job when the recruitment exercise is completed.

“I’m satisfied with my performance last season.

“We won at Gombe United and were unlucky in some other matches,” Sanni said to supersport.com.

Also in the race are former 3SC gaffer, Festus Allen, Fatai Amoo, Erasmus Onu, Alphonsus Dike, Super Falcons’ assistant coach, Samson Unuanel and Akwa United gaffer, Solomon Ogbeide among others.

Despite the presence of several big name managers since the club evolved from defunct Kwara State Utility Bombers (Kwasu) in the 1990s, Kwara United have never won the domestic league.

The legendary Kadiri Ikhana earned the club a place in the continent after finishing third during the 2006 Super Four and the club reached the group stage of the 2007 Caf Confederation Cup.
